This subject was previously known as COD324A Projects in Community Development.

This placement subject gives students the opportunity to examine how ideas and practice interconnect. The primary part of this subject requires students to undertake a placement within an organisation that undertakes community-based work. Students will be encouraged to look, listen and consider the linkages between theory and practice by going 'into the field' and reflecting on the process of working within the community.

Students are required to complete 90 placement hours.

The assessments are designed to give students the opportunity to prepare thoughtfully for their placement, as well as providing a vehicle for active reflection on their learning.

• Placement proposal and documentation (40%)
• Placement reflection (60%)
• Placement - Completion of 90 hour placement (Pass/Fail%)
